How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over web page, viewbook

What impressed you positively?

The way technology is integrated into the learning process. Every student has a personal page with all the info for his or her classes -- notes, diagrams, etc -- and videos of the lectures are on the web. This also goes into the labs and the tutorial classrooms.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing was really obviously unimpressive, but I realized that maybe PBL isn't for me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my second interview would be at Mass General (at 4:00) -- a shuttle ride away, and on a different T line.

What are your general comments?

No, I wasn't asked to open any windows. When Harvard says they don't conduct stressful interviews, they mean that the interviews are not in a class by themselves -- they resembled basic med school interviews, with an average stress level. All the facilities there are nice. Not having a big home base hospital has positives and negatives. My hosting experience was great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
